Aryna Sabalenka‘s aura is truly something to marvel at. The Tiger Girl saw her season come to an end last week, after losing to America’s Coco Gauff in the SF round. Coco beat her 7-6(4), 6-3 in straight sets. After leaving Riyadh, Aryna is currently in Paris and spending a quality time with her boyfriend Georgios Frangulis. They are staying at the Four Seasons George V hotel. Being there, Aryna has been sharing a lot of sweet moments and pictures with her fans. She has now found a new admirer in none other than Jannik Sinner’s girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya.

On Friday, Aryna dropped a photo of her in a simple yet elegant outfit, posing for a shot inside the hotel. “From Paris with love ❤️🇫🇷 @fsgeorgevparis”, she wrote in the caption. Not to mention that the picture ended up attracting many compliments. One among them, however, came from none other than Anna Kalinskaya. Dropping a two-word compliment in the comments section, Anna praised Aryna’s irresistible looks in her casuals. “So demure”, wrote the Russian tennis star. Seems like Kalinskaya was truly mesmerized by Sabalenka’s elegance.

The two are usually seen fighting each other on the court in intense encounters. Overall, both of them have played each other five times, with Sabalenka currently leading the H2H tally 3-2. When the two met last time earlier this year in June, during the QF round of Berlin Ladies Open, the match couldn’t finish. Sabalenka left midway due to shoulder pain when she was trailing 1-5 in the first set. However, the latest sweet gesture from Anna is really a surprise for everyone. Maybe it’s the beginning of a future friendship between the two players.

Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka is trying to make full use of her break these days by staying in touch with her tennis besties. She recently reached out to her friend and Spanish star Paula Badosa on her birthday. She wished Badosa with a sweet, yet funny message involving a third member of their group.

Apart from Paula, Sabalenka is also friends with Tunisian player Ons Jabeur. The three share an amazing camaraderie which is known in public. On Paula’s birthday on November 15th, Ons and Sabalenka wished her in a fun way on social media. Initially, Ons shared a video on her Instagram handle. In the clip, Badosa was seen revealing her new best friend. She said, I’m sorry Aryna but have a new best friend, it’s Ons.”

Along with the video, Ons also wrote an amusing caption,which read, “Happy birthday BEST BEST friend @paulabadosa, I am sorry, not sorry @arynasabalenka.” Aryna also didn’t stay behind in taking a fun jibe at Ons.

While wishing Paula on Instagram, she wrote “Happy birthday to this beauty #mysoulmate. @onsjabeur, You can just be her BEST friend.” With this hilarious gesture, she made it quite clear who’s closer to Paula as a friend. This banter was really fun to witness. Moreover, Sabalenka had also admired Paula on a previous occasion this year. During the US Open, Sabalenka expressed her true feelings for Badosa.

In a press conference, dated August 31st, she confessed, “I love Paula (Badosa) very much. We have been friends for three or four years. She is an incredible person. It is very important to have friends on the circuit, so when you find someone who you feel is your soulmate, it is the best thing that can happen to you.”

They both share similar personalities and that’s the main reason why the two get along so well. Amidst a cut-throat competition in the world of tennis these days, it’s a rarity to see such a precious bond between Aryna and Paula.
